Verpleegkunde Stage Reviews

Culture was also evident in the day to day running of the general hospital, as although there are similarities between UK nursing and Sri Lankan nursing there were also differences. For example, instead of just doing IV’s for your patients, you had one nurse doing all of the IV’s.

Looking back I had an amazing time, I met some great people and I had experiences that can't measure up to a placement in the UK.

Being a student children’s nurse it was vital that I could spend all my clinical time in children’s departments and Work the World ensured that this was possible.

My School of Nursing recommended travelling with WTW as previous students had done so and had good experiences with the company.

From my time in Kandy I really got to see the role of the Sri Lankan nurse in comparison to the UK.
